BEARD PINS

$0.00

When I first came to Penland as a Studio Assistant in 2017 I was working intensely on my hygiene fascination and the beginning of what became an entire body of work on routine However near the end I felt a little burnt out, so I challenged myself to make 100 beard pins (wearable pins that were small stylized drawings of beards- hair growth of the face) in one night. I ended up expanding my time frame to 2 days, and then later spent even more time in the intricacies of naming them. But it allowed me to feel as if I wasn't going back on my metalsmithing training and room to laugh at myself. Since then they have evolved and I have continued to make them. Now each pin has its own individual intricate drawing.

FOR SALE UNDER SHOP

These are pins made to be stylized versions of various beard and mustache combination. I then sit down with my friends and we debate what type of guy, personality, cultural reference, a person from our past, represents this image, and assign it a witty quip. Each beard has a description and when it is sold I make an individualized hand drawn card that includes a head and outfit drawing with the description.
